While using Mac NB5.5 the file explorer will randomly update. This scrambles the tree. Not a re-ordering, but text on top of text in a scrambled mess. Forcing a repaint restores it, but it happens often.
Created attachment 29257 [details] screen shots of scrambled explorer tree
It looks like either painting from other thread that AWT's or repaint w/o previously clearing the background. I have never seen it before.
I never saw that too. Please provide steps how to reproduce it. Which version of Mac OS X and JDK are you using?
Please, provide the information about the system and JDK versions. Marking as INCOMPLETE now.
This happens all the time. I am amazed that you have not seen this before. Here are some configs that I am using: -bash-2.05b$ java -version java version "1.5.0_06" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-111) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-64, mixed mode, sharing) -bash-2.05b$ pwd /Users/guest/NetBeans5.5Preview.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc -bash-2.05b$ more netbeans.conf # ${HOME} will be replaced by JVM user.home system property netbeans_default_userdir="${HOME}/.netbeans/5.5preview" # options used by netbeans launcher by default, can be overridden by explicit # command line switches netbeans_default_options="-J-Dpxe.default.asdomain=domain1 -J-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQ uartz=false -J-Dcom.sun.aas.installRoot=\"/Users/guest/SUNWappserver\" -J-Xms512m -J-X mx1024m -J-XX:PermSize=98m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=196m -J-Dnetbeans.logger.console=false -J -ea -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true" # default location of J2SE JDK, can be overridden by using --jdkhome <dir> switch netbeans_jdkhome="/Library/Java/Home" Whenever the memory usage gets to about 400MB (out of initial 512), then selecting or expanding node in the explorer cause that drawing problem. I see it while debugging and/running the uml suite (mount the uml suite; clean and build; set some breakpoints; debug) When this drawing problem occurs, the editor panel also goes blank. Forcing a repaint (like selectAll or minimize) will fix it temporarily. But once it starts, it just keeps happening. Restarting the IDE on a regular basis is the only method I have found to keep this drawing problem from occurring.
can you try without the apple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=false property?
So you're seeing it in NB5.5? Are you also using the UML features in the IDE, not only developing them? (i.e. can the painting problem be correlated to usage of UML modules)? Will the problem go away if you disable UML support?
I will work without property apple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=false. Will post results in a couple days. As for "working with 5.5 outside of UML", I am only developing, not using UML. I am working on the backend (implementing MDR) so no drawing is involved. I have recently started with an Intel Mac (MacBook Pro). Will post any differences.
So what is the status? Did the flag help?
No feedback, the flag have probably helped. We can't do more about it I think.
